Hvolsvöllur
Set in Hvolsvöllur, 3.5 km from Seljalandsfoss, Paradise Cave Hostel & Guesthouse offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. This was the best place we stayed at in Iceland by far. We had an emergency while driving from one part of Iceland to the next and happened to stay here and if I’d known about it, I would have stayed here for our entire trip to Iceland. The location is perfect - about halfway between Reykjavik and the gorgeous southeast coast (by Reynisfjara, Skogafoss, etc) but far enough from Vik to have great prices. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff obviously liked their jobs. They went above and beyond to help us that night and once we were settled, they even offered us freshly made cake. I cannot rate this highly enough. It was truly amazing. The breakfast the next morning was great and we even got some freshly baked croissants still hot from the oven.

It's a first time for me in a hostel and I can say overall experience was very nice. It's very clean, has a lot of spaces outside the room to chill, bathrooms, showers and a big kitchen with a view to have lunch or breakfast. Nice decoration, well organised, easy access, check in and parking. The view outside is amazing! I do recommend it for a short stay on budget.
It was new, clean and very well maintained. The kitchen is the best hostel kitchen i have seen so far.
Simply the best hostel I've ever been to
Nice, new hotel at great location - served as a perfect "strategic" spot for our travel on the westcoast of Iceland. Room (we had a family room with bunk bed) was comfortable and nicely decorated. The bunk bed, in a side area of the room, was great for our son. Breakfast was simple, bread, , yoghurt, pastries, cold cuts, spread coffee / tea and fruit. But everything fresh and delicious. The food hall on the ground floor is a nice touch! Great food in an and easy going setting.
Beautiful old house with well equipped kitchen and great location in the old part of Vik. There is a large common area and a museum opposite of the hostel. You pick up the key at their main hotel facility next to the road. The hostel is in another building close by.
Great hostel with full kitchen great location
Willing to do whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable. The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Exceptional and great location around the corner from the Black Beach.
Great location, not far from very scenic views. The Barn is definitely a backpacker hostel and is organised as such, with shoe racks outside of each bedroom. Each bed has a place to put their luggage on and there are many coat hangers. It is well organised with many showers, toilets and sinks. I appreciated the complimentary towel. Very warm atmosphere.
One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Busy, but it's a great location, just a few minutes from the black sand beach and basalt columns. Fantastic sunset from there. The room was so spacious (I had a double room), and the bed was SO comfy! The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with all the appliances you'd need. Obviously, the issues of shared bathrooms...waiting for showers, etc, but overall, I highly recommend The Barn.
One of the best hostels i ever been to. Friendly staff, great location, new and clean facilities and the double bed was amazing, super comfortable!
